Hi,

I'm moderately new to R:D:O - so I just want to sanity check that the  
following is reasonable / idiomatic.

I've got a whole mess-o-tables that (by and large)  
Rose::DB::Object::Loader deals with splendidly. However, there are a  
few columns where I would like to do a little client-side stuff  
before I update a column in an object. At the moment I'm doing  
something like this when I set up the classes with R:D:O:L

Rose::DB::Object::Loader->new(
     db           => MyApp::DB->new,
     class_prefix => 'MyApp'
)->make_classes(
     pre_init_hook => sub {
         my $meta = shift;
         $meta->column( 'some_column' )->alias( '_some_column' )
             if $meta->table eq 'some_table';
     }
);

then off in MyApp::SomeTable I do:

sub some_column {
     my $self = shift;
     # ...stuff I need to do before changing value goes here...
     return $self->_some_column( @_ );
}

Reasonable? Is there a better way (for some definition of "better")?

Cheers,

Adrian
